Kendrick Lamar shocked everyone by dropping a new combative song on his rarely-used Instagram account.
On Wednesday, Kendrick shared an unnamed song with cover art featuring black Nike Airs. While details about the track remain scarce, the lyrics suggest he’s taking on the world, possibly referencing his recent beef with Drake.
In the first verse, Kendrick raps about ‘reasoning with these clowns’ and hints at violence being a form of tough love. The words are raw and direct, showing his frustration.
The second verse targets an unnamed enemy, accusing them of making poor decisions and using money as a backbone. The intensity in his lyrics is palpable, calling for decisive action against this adversary.
Meanwhile, Joe Budden recently claimed on his podcast that Kendrick and Drake had a conversation before their lyrical showdown last summer. Budden mentioned they reportedly discussed the rules of their battle.
Budden said, ‘I heard that Drake and Kendrick had a talk before any diss record was released. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but I heard they spoke!’ He even likened the conversation to a soulful exchange, imagining how Kendrick might have asked Drake about their rap battle approach. ‘What we doing? Oh, we rapping? Okay, then let’s keep it umph.’
While fans are left to speculate about the true meaning behind the track and the alleged conversation, one thing is clear: Kendrick Lamar knows how to keep the rap community on its toes.
Kendrick’s surprise release on Instagram has ignited excitement and speculation, proving once again his knack for captivating his audience.
